The National Weather Service is predicting a stormy day for the southeastern U.S. on Saturday, and particularly for North Alabama. This was part of the Tennessee Valley Authority weather advisory that was sent to co-ops Friday morning:
"A significant outbreak of tornadoes is possible Saturday and Saturday night across the service territory along the I 65 corridor eastward to the Appalachians. Another update with more specifics on Saturday will be issued this afternoon."
The updated advisory on Friday afternoon hasn't changed, indicating the storm system on Saturday will be capable of producing a widespread outbreak of tornadoes with potential strong to violent long track storms.
If we should experience storm damage and power outages, here are a few reminders:
1. To report an outage, call 256.737.3201 or 1.800.242.1806. If you follow the instructions, your outage will be automatically recorded and reported to our dispatch center.
2. If you have a weather radio, make sure it is turned on throughout the day and have batteries ready.
3. Flashlight & batteries
4. Be sure you have a storm emergency plan for your family.
We will keep you updated throughout the day via Facebook and Twitter, so be sure to follow us on either one or both if you are not doing so already.
